Metroid Prime 4: Beyond amiibo unlocks are surprises of the “useful” and “well, OK then” variety, depending on which figure you’re scanning. In keeping with the rest of Prime 4, the Vi-O-La motorcycle gets most of the focus here, but there’s also a special cutscene and a once-per-day lifesaving perk, among some other things. That said, none of it is absolutely mandatory or game-changing (there’s even a way to get the cutscene without the amiibo), so don’t feel like you have to rush out and buy an expensive figure just to get a perk.
Below, we list all Metroid Prime 4 amiibo unlocks and rewards, including what you get for scanning non-Prime 4 amiibo.
Metroid Prime 4 amiibo rewards and unlock list
Each of the three Metroid Prime 4 amiibo has a unique set of unlocks. However, you can also scan any Metroid-series amiibo to get a little reward as well. Those are:
- Dark Samus
- Samus Aran (Metroid Dread)
- Samus Aran (Varia Suit, standing pose)
- Samus Aran (Varia Suit, combat pose)
- Zero Suit Samus
- Metroid
- Ridley
- E.M.M.I.
These eight amiibo all produce the same result, so you’re not missing out if you only have Samus Aran and not Samus Aran or Samus Aran. 🙂
Samus on the Vi-O-La amiibo
Scan this to see how far you’ve traveled on the Vi-O-La. Once you reach certain distance milestones, you’ll unlock new Vi-O-La skins that you can swap out from the menu. The skins are:
- Varia theme
- Sylux theme
- Metroid Prime theme (basically the Varia theme, but using a slightly lighter shade of orange)
- Space Pirate theme
- Ancient Era theme
- Psychic Era theme
- Vi-O-La suit theme
Once per day when you scan this amiibo, you’ll also get a temporary increase for how quickly the Vi-O-La’s boost meter recharges.
Sylux amiibo
Scanning the Sylux amiibo gets you:
- A special flashback scene you can view in the gallery. If you reach 100% completion with the logbook scan entries, you’ll unlock this scene at the end of the game without having to scan the amiibo. Or, y’know, you can just look it up on YouTube.
- You’ll also see a random line from Sylux show up in the menu.
Samus amiibo (Metroid Prime 4 version)
If you have the Metroid Prime 4 Samus amiibo, you can scan it to unlock two features:
- Change the background music that plays while riding the Vi-O-La in the open-world desert (not in other named locations)
- Once per day, get a shield that restores Samus’ energy and blocks 99 incoming damage
Any other Metroid-series amiibo
If you scan any of the eight other Metroid amiibo, you get to hear a random Metroid sound played in the menu. And that’s it. But hey, there’s no once-per-day limit on this one.
How to use amiibo in Metroid Prime 4
To scan an amiibo, open the main menu by pressing the minus button, then navigate to the amiibo tab. Select “scan amiibo” (the other option is for swapping Vi-O-La skins once you acquire them), and then scan the amiibo you want to use.
